Licensed aesthetician Ashley Wiley dedicates her skin expertise to combating acne and rosacea. Her focused menu of personalized skincare services tackles skin imperfections with dermatological stratagems that, much like most buoyant paper airplane designs, hinge on years of ruthless research. A 45-minute consultation establishes the state of your epidermal union, and Ashley immediately recommends regimens to begin quelling unsightly anomalies in her care and on your own at home. Her basic acne treatment resembles a typical facial, but the custom blend of deep cleansing, exfoliation, and extractions eradicate dastardly oils at their source. Chemical peels and microdermabrasion treatments are Ashley's two methods of intense exfoliation, and ionic footbaths deploy electrolysis to neutralize toxins and swallowed 9-volt batteries.

html_text: Mitti Arabella Davis, a licensed aesthetician, founded Arabella's Total Skin Care in 2005. Today, she polishes her clients with services that combat skin damage wrought by father time and his moody cousin, the environment. Arabella's microdermabrasion and chemical peels launch deep attacks at enlarged pores and uneven pigmentation, while a variety of facials take a gentler approach. Her signature oxygenation facial provides an especially delicate caress, drawing oxygen to the skin's surface to produce a warm and radiant glow. Waxing, makeup artistry, and eyelash extensions are the finishing touches on her service menu's blushing visage.

Arrowhead Dermatology wrangles a team of board-certified dermatologists, nurse practitioners, and aestheticians—many of whom have worked in harrowing environments, such as burn wards, the air force, and Texas. Their services tend to fall into two categories: treatments that promote healthy skin and treatments with a more cosmetic slant. For the former, Arrowhead's dermatologists perform mole monitoring for skin cancers, offer treatment for warts, rashes, and cysts, and put together plans that help patients reduce acne outbreaks. On the cosmetic side, they'll team up with their aestheticians to perform laser hair removal, microdermabrasion treatments, and vestigial rhino-horn buffing.

Your skin may not be able to tell you what it needs, but it can tell the skin specialists at Beauty Squad. The aestheticians here begin each service with a careful skin reading that will help them determine the most appropriate course of treatment for each client. So whether the problem is chronic acne, dark spots, or sun damage, Beauty Squad has a
plan that will rejuvenate and refresh. Custom-blend facials fuse natural botanicals with clinical strength ingredients, and can tackle more specific concerns when combined with an add-on mask, such as a ginseng mask to revitalize and firm, or a caviar mask to combat dryness and impress eccentric millionaires. Other specialties include dermaplanning and microdemabrasion, both of which help exfoliate the skin for a softer, smoother complexion.

Chemical peels are skin-resurfacing treatments that can be tailored to the concerns of each patient. They come in varying levels of intensity to treat a range of skincare issues, from texture issues and hyperpigmentation to fine lines and wrinkles.What does a chemical peel do?All chemical peels remove outer layers of the skin, though how many layers depends on the intensity of the peel. After a healing period, which also varies with the intensity level, skin is left feeling softer and smoother. Superficial issues such as acne or acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation should be improved, if not completely corrected.Are there different types?There sure are. Peels are formulated as light, medium, or deep chemical treatments, based on the chemicals used and how they are formulated. The treatment that’s right for you will depend on what you’re hoping to treat and how much downtime you’re willing to endure. You should always consult with your dermatologist before undergoing any chemical peel.What chemicals are in the peel?Each peel is slightly different, and the exact formula will depend on the intensity level of the treatment. However, the most common chemicals used in peels are alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), trichloroacetic acid (TCA), and phenol. AHAs and BHAs are the lightest acids, often used in light chemical peels. TCA can be used in many different formulations. Last but not least, phenol is the strongest chemical and only used in deep peels.Is there downtime?Yes, all chemical peels require some downtime. Light flaking, irritation, and peeling usually occur for a few days after light peels. It can take up to six weeks for skin to return to its normal appearance following a medium chemical peel. Deep chemical peels are closer in nature to a surgical treatment—patients are usually asked to rest their skin for two weeks before they’re able to resume normal activities or wear makeup. Skin may remain red in appearance for up to three months.What are the expected results?The results of chemical peels will vary for every patient and are dependent on the level of chemical peel. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons recommends asking your doctor about what results you can expect during your pretreatment consultation.That said, chemical peels are intended to improve the appearance of: Acne or acne scars Age and liver spots Fine lines and wrinkles Freckles Irregular skin pigmentation Rough skin and scaly patches Scars Sun-damaged skinHow do I know if I need a chemical peel vs. a different facial treatment?Chemical peels are not intended to: Treat deep facial lines Tighten loose or sagging skin Remove broken capillaries Change pore size Remove deep scarsCan everyone get a chemical peel?The American Society of Plastic Surgeons states that you might not be a good candidate for chemical peel if you have: A history of abnormal skin scarring Abnormal pigmentation Afro-Caribbean or Asian skin Facial warts Red hair and pale freckled skin Used certain acne treatments within the last yearTake an in-depth look at other skincare treatments:What Is Microneedling?What Does Microdermabrasion Do?

I love playing around with skincare treatments at home, mixing masks and body scrubs from whatever I can find in my kitchen. But I knew attempting a chemical peel was over my head, so I enlisted the help of Arlana Andrews, the founder and lead aesthetician at Allure Beauty Lounge in Chicago.As it turns out, the treatment was nothing like I expected. Here are five things I learned during my visit:1. It’s not just a peel, it’s a full facial.Just the phrase “chemical peel” sounds a little scary. In fact, my colleagues couldn’t believe I was going to come back to work afterward—they were imagining some mad scientist messing with my face. But at Allure, there was no Dr. X waiting to torture me under fluorescent lights.Instead, I was escorted into a relaxing, dimly lit area enhanced by soft curtains and spa music. After I got comfortable on the cushioned table, Arlana began by gently massaging my face with a gel cleanser. She performed this step twice, saying that the peel would penetrate better once she removed as much makeup and oil as possible. Even as she applied the peel, it felt great, because she used a soft sponge that just glided over my skin. She also applied some hydrating serums, did extractions, and painted on a strawberry mask that smelled good enough to eat. By the end, I was ready to take a nap.2. It doesn’t hurt that bad.With that said, Arlana did take some precautions. She shielded the areas around my mucus membranes (i.e. corners of my nose, eyes, and mouth) with a petroleum gel that would prevent the peel from getting in them. And when it came time to apply the peel (which had a gel-like consistency), she started with a very thin layer to gauge how my skin would respond. She said most people start to get red right away; I only got a little pink, so she proceeded to apply a second thin layer.It did sting somewhat. But it was nothing I couldn’t sit through. As you can see above, I came to Allure with a few breakouts, so Arlana used a salicylic peel, and most of the stinging was concentrated on a spot beside my nose where I had a pimple. It did smell strongly of chemicals, but it didn’t bother my eyes or anything. By the time she finished, I didn’t feel the stinging anymore. It did start to tingle again as she washed the peel off—which she warned me would happen—but that strawberry mask calmed my skin immediately.Of course, everyone’s tolerance is different. Some people are more sensitive, and in Arlana’s experience, those with really oily skin sometimes like the tingling sensation.3. Do not try it at home.Aestheticians can’t even do full-strength peels unless they’re under the direction of a doctor. (Arlana was using a 25% peel on me, but medical offices can perform up to 90% peels.) In fact, it can be dangerous to attempt even a spa-grade peel at home. “If you leave it on the skin for too long, it will resemble a burn,” Arlana said. “If you don’t know what you’re doing, you can damage your skin.”She feels the same way about DIY extractions. As she explains, oil, blemishes, and even skin tends to harden. A chemical peel softens everything, making it easier for an aesthetician to squeeze things out of pores. “Some people go overboard and start digging into their skin if they can’t get something out,” Arlana said, which can lead to scarring and spread bacteria. “For people at home, it’s better to just use a spot treatment.”4. Aftercare is important.I may have gotten to kick my feet up during the treatment, but I left Allure with some homework. Had it been later in the day (it was only noon), I could have skipped my skincare regimen that evening. But since I had plenty of running around left to do, Arlana suggested I use a gentle cleanser and moisturizer before bed. She also said I could put Neosporin on my blemishes later to prevent any scarring from the extractions.But because skin is more absorbent after a peel, there were also some things Arlana recommended I avoid. Makeup, for one (but only for the next day or so). If I really needed to put some on, she said I should use a primer first to keep the makeup from settling into my pores. Also, the sun. “You’re kind of wasting your money if you’re getting these treatments … and then just going back into the sun,” Arlana said.5. Your skin will look better—just be patient.Arlana finds that a lot of people get great results even after a single treatment. I was surprised afterward to see that my skin really wasn’t red or peeling. She said that in the following days, I could eliminate any flaking by using a cleanser with microbeads. Four days later, I haven’t seen any flaking.And even though she said it would take up to a week to see the full, glowy results, my skin is already much clearer. It’s not exactly glowing yet, but hey, I’ve still got a few days left.Photos by Kelly MacDowell and Favin Gebremarium, Groupon
